Most people enjoy good Chinese food. Cooking is considered to be an art and Chinese dishes can be as beautiful to look at, as they are delicious to eat. Traditionally in China, there has always been an important relationship between food and health. So you will find that the combination of foods in a meal will take into account a balance between carbs, meat and vegetables, yin and yang food groups (hot and cold), and the diners’ state of health, age, gender and the weather!
Chinese food is nutritious and easy to cook. Generally speaking, Chinese cooking lays emphasis on color, aroma and taste. In China, rice is usually served at the end of the meal, sort of like a filler. If you haven’t had enough to eat, then you fill up on the rice. In western countries, we tend to like it served along side the other dishes.
